Or, you can just NoQuiche.  Among other things, NoQuiche replaces calls to
DrawControls with UpdateControl, and DrawDialog with UpdateDialog.  It
really makes the ResEdit MENU editor scream along.

Question:  NoQuiche was written a while back with the intro of the 128K
ROMs.  When I got a Mac II, for some reason I just automatically assumed
that it wouldn't work so I tossed it out.  Recently I found that it actually
does work with the II, but there is a problem:  I used the Kolor cdev to
make my default window title bar lines colored.  With NoQuiche, the lines
turned back into the standard black.  Has anyone gotten around to write
something similar to NoQuich for the II, or does there exist a patch to
remedy this (and possibly other) problems with NoQuiche on a II?
